Sometimes after viewing a movie played on my laptop and seen on the LCD TV via VGA port, I will lose the sound on the TV upon switching back to HDMI from my COX DVR. This seems to be an intermittent problem, however.

This Digital Lifestyle LCD TV also is having problems turning on when the power button is pressed. The red light on the front panel turns green but no picture. I sometimes have to turn the tv on and off several times to finally get a picture on screen.Sometimes after viewing a movie played on my laptop and seen on the LCD TV via VGA port, I will lose the sound on the TV upon switching back to HDMI from my COX DVR.

Right before I lost my sound, it began to elicit a crackling sound, then I lost signal to program, but had to re-program the channels four times before it was set up, but still no sound. Once again, I have neither sound or channels. The menu bar states that it is a weak signal or no signal.

Try unplugging it for a few and starting over, check your connections. If that does not help it is probably broken. This brings you to the bigger problem, It is no mystery why all of these new "no name" TV manufactures are so much cheaper than 1st tier products. Some of it is quality, but the biggest reason you spent a few to maybe several hundred less than the Sony, Toshiba, Samsung, Mitsubishi, etc. is after the purchase support. If your TV is broken chances are it is not getting fixed. There is no such thing as Digital Lifestyle replacement parts, service centers, service manuals, etc. If a company can build a TV then wash their hands of it they can sell it much cheaper. Name brand manufactures produce original replacement parts for years, they set up authorized service centers all over the country and they publish service info for their servicers. You might take it in somewhere for a look, sometimes it is something simple or basic electronic circuit failures that can be repaired with common generic components, but if you need something specific, it won't happen. You say it is "new" if it turns out broken and you can return it, do it, go smaller with a name brand or spend the extra few hundred bucks. Don't get me wrong name brands break too, the difference is they are repaired and you move on rather than throwing it away and buying again. People are discovering there is nothing more expensive than a cheap TV. Good Luck

Ok, here I am again, I just found out that my remote and my tv are having a problem sending a recieving messages to each other...the remote is sending, but the tv is not recieving...and then the man tells me there are not codes to use the program the remote for dish to the Digital Lifestyles TV...Wow, this is so much fun, so please, don't buy one of these things, it is not worth the headache...I think I will just get my money back and get something else...

The most common cause of sound and no picture problems is the power supply inverter board. There are parts called capacitors that overheat and fail. If you can do a little soldering then you should be able to repair the board yourself. Here is a link to a repair kit with the proper capacitors for that board.
